West Bengal Administration Demolishes Unauthorized Portions of Ex-TMC MLA Jahangir Khan's House
The South 24-Parganas district administration began demolishing unauthorized portions of former Trinamool Congress MLA Jahangir Khan's residence in Falta following a court order. Khan, arrested in July on charges including extortion and murder, had ignored multiple notices to remove the illegal construction, which exceeded approved building regulations. The government, led by Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari, stated the land would be reclaimed for public welfare. Police maintained law and order during the operation amid Khan's absence and legal proceedings.
